The Stagecoach bus company has faced criticism over incidents in Oxford when a driver appeared to not stop for Muslims waiting at bus stops.
The complaint, which was sent to Stagecoach and anti-Islamaphobia group Tell MAMA, was written by a person who saw two incidents in one day of a bus appearing to not stop for Muslims.
Stagecoach corroborated the complainant’s account and apologized, saying they saw the driver failing to stop during the alleged incidents after reviewing CCTV footage from onboard the bus.
Tell MAMA recently published findings on anti-Muslim incidents from 2014 to 2015. They have 548 verified incidents reported to them over the period.
Many of the incidents reported to them took place online, but of the ‘offline’ incidents, around 30 per cent happened while the victim was wearing traditional Islamic clothing.
